Music matching / Metadata matching not working for an artist

[blank]

Hi,



i’m using the latest Plex Server and am accessing my itunes library not via iTunes , but the filesystems folder in Plex. I’ve added 3 Albums of “The White Stripes” via itunes and had them matched by itunes match. So the albums are recognized. Metadata is perfect according to itunes (R11 FWIW). The file are m4a and are playable w/o any problem in both plex and itunes.



When i try to match using the plex music agent (using last.fm) the artist “The White Stripes” is not found by default. I have to use custom match to get the artist matched which is still o.k.

What i can’t get to work is to match the individual albums however. Plex only display a single “unknown” Album containing all tracks. From there i can do what i want to match the tracks. it won’t work.

Is there anything i can do to get these matched in Plex?



Besides: The custom matching window seems to also have a bug. The CONFIRM button is highlighted whereas the windows performs the cancel button as default when you simply press enter. This is not really user-friendly.



cheers

Hi,



the lastfm agent log shows:

Can someone look into this? something logged as CRITICAL should be worth investigating?
